They represent female beings seated on lotus thrones and holding heavy garlands, their arms raised. Only the upper portion of the body of the figure is visible. Variations of this tehme are but slight, relating only to the pose of the hands, the execution of the neck ornament, the shape of the garland, etc. As to their position on the vessel and what purpose they served we can see quite well from a couple of fairly large ornaments illustrated by Hoernle and Stein, respectively. Montell 1936, sid 163 ff.Arkeologiskt föremål förvärvat i Borazan. Föremålen inköpta av Hedin från lokalbefolkningen. I brev hem av den 10 januari 1896 skriver Hedin: "Yesterday I visited the village of Borazan, where those remarkable Buddhist antiquities are found, but I made practically no discoveries. On the other hand the natives come along daily with their terracotta figures, pots, precious stones with engraved portraits, coins, Buddha images etc. ... and I have acquired a lot of these things cheaply enough. There is an old Tartar, of Orenburg, living here, by the name of Rafikoff, and he speaks Russian fluently. He has paid me several visits, and when I called upon him he presented me with a number of these antiquities." - cit Montell 1936 nr 7., (Datering 100-800 baserad på att en stor del av fynd från Khotan har daterats till denna tid, behöver inte vara korrekt för just detta föremål)., Montell 1936, sid 163 ff,, Montell, gösta (1936) Sven Hedin’s Archaeological Collections from Khotan: Terra-cottas from Yotkan and Dandan-Uiliq.
